I believe that media violence desensitizes people, but they don't actually go out on rampages from playing too much video games or anything like that. They just kind of shrug off car accidents and shootings. |

I think that violence in the media and video games, and such, is a scapegoat. I have been playing pretty violent games for quite a while now, (Played Quake 1 when I was... 6, I think) and I'm reasonably sane, and have gone on 0 shooting rampages at the moment.

I don't think it affects us. Well, not too much at least.

It mostly depends on his personality, how strong he is, and how he can resist it. |
